Why Befriending Your Wedding Suppliers is the Secret to a Stress-Free Big Day

Let’s be honest—planning a wedding can sometimes feel like herding cats in formalwear. There are endless details to juggle, a sea of opinions to navigate, and a to-do list that seems to breed overnight. But here’s a little secret to making it all easier: build a solid relationship with your wedding suppliers. Yes, those magical beings who bring your dream day to life—your photographer, florist, DJ, caterer, and everyone in between.

Think of it this way: would you rather have a complete stranger in charge of your wedding cake, or someone who knows you well enough to remember you hate fondant? When you take the time to connect with your suppliers, they don’t just become vendors—they become your wedding allies, your problem-solvers, and in some cases, your unofficial therapists.

A good relationship means better communication, more trust, and—crucially—less stress for you. Your photographer will know whether you’re a ‘candid moments only’ person or someone who wants a full-blown editorial shoot. Your DJ will understand that ‘Mr Brightside’ is a must-play but ‘Macarena’ is a firm no. Your florist will remember that your childhood trauma involved an unfortunate encounter with a bouquet of lilies, and will steer clear accordingly.

At the end of the day, weddings are about people. And when the people making your day happen actually feel invested in you, you’ll get a smoother, happier, and more personal experience. So send that friendly email, have a quick chat, maybe even grab a coffee. A little effort goes a long way—and trust me, your wedding will be all the better for it.
